An Effective Prospectus
is a classic entrepreneurial tale. It all began a few
years ago when Rick Sanchez, a veteran of the Internet
boom, decided he wanted to apply his Web expertise to
an offline venture. What he found next surprised him.
Out of the dozens of available businesses Rick looked
into buying, not one had a decent sales prospectus.

At that moment, a light went
on. Realizing that small-business owners lack the specialized
skills to create these complex documents, Rick came
up with a simple, yet powerful idea: Offer the services
of a team of experts whose sole function is to create
a distinct, compelling sales tool -- An Effective
Prospectus!

Of course, An Effective Prospectus is about more
than just a good-looking document; it's about saving tens
of thousands of dollars in broker commissions. Armed
with An Effective Prospectus, you won't even need
a broker; you'll be able do it all on your own. And after
all, isn't that what being in business for yourself is all
about?
